My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer

'A physical lock? how strange'

That made no sense, after all, why would a lock be physical in melki's academy of magic, the normal one would obviously be a magic chest.

[If you think about it, it makes sense Luke. After all, within the academy there are several skilled mages... So a physical lock avoids that problem]

Luke then tried to open the safe, using a piece of metal that was inside his inventory. The young man tried to make lock pick on the safe, but realized that this task was a bit more complex than it should normally be.

'That lock is different, I have never seen something like this'

[So... It must be some extremely important document]

'It probably is'

It took Luke a few minutes to think of a solution, after all, how to deal with how to open a safe without using lock picking, until an interesting idea popped into the half-wolf's head. He was able to figure out using the wire that that key has eight different pins that need to be activated simultaneously to open it. After that, it would be necessary to turn the key four times.

Luke noticed these details only with his sharp hearing, something that gave him a much bigger bonus compared to anyone else attempting this same task. With that, the half-wolf decided to create a key.

Luke channeled the moisture in the room, along with some of his mana to create a ball of water. Slowly a transparent sphere appeared around one of the half-wolf's hands. Charging it with his mana, Luke placed that sphere of water inside the lock.

The water was getting inside the vault, so Luke moved it to activate all the locks at the same time. This idea was efficient, once he had activated all the pins, Luke froze the water to be able to turn the lock.

* Tec... Tec... Tec...Tec...Tec...Tec...Tec...Tec...Tec.

After four spins, the vault door opened.

'That was simpler than I imagined' Luke thought.

As soon as the door opened, Luke heated the ice until it was just a bead of water again. With a snap of his fingers, he turned all the water into value, which disappeared along with the humidity in that room.

Inside that door was a series of books. All connected to the student council.

'List of prodigal students, list of golden pendants, rapid teaching methods'

All the books were just ordinary academy documents, it made no sense that they were locked inside a metal box.

'Why?'

[What a strange decision, keeping that kind of list inside a box]

'This book here, this one makes more sense to be here.

The half-wolf then reached out and took a brown leather book, on the cover was a gold plate where the name of the book was written. Expenses and sponsors of the council. There were noted all the incentives that students had given directly to their groups, including the amount that Hawk sent, the vermillion family alone gave over fourteen thousand gold bars to Melki's academy.

'They are funding the academy to create a power link...'

[They are trying to buy a high position for Hawk]

'Write down the names on that list Balance, we'll check later which ones are connected with the empire'

[Got it!]

As soon as Luke closed the lock, his hearing picked up the sound of someone walking through the building. The half-wolf was in the basement and had no quick way out of there. Approaching the stairs, Luke began trying to listen to who was in the building.

"I can't take this Aoi anymore, she thinks she's too much just because she has influence in the student council" The voice was Hawk's.

"Don't worry kid, just follow the instructions" A woman said.

The woman's voice was somewhat demonic, it didn't sound human, it was something monstrous. The sound of footsteps confirmed that Hawk was talking to her from a distance, he was walking alone.

'It must be the same demon woman that Meredith had said commented on, that's makes sense...'

[He is acting together with Max Willford...]

Luke waited for Hawk to leave the second floor, waiting intently as the boy climbed the stairs. From the echo of the sound of Hawk's footsteps, Luke could get an idea of where the boy was going and where he was. The moment the red-headed boy was far away from the second floor, Luke walked nimbly out of the building.

Climbing up to the second floor, the half-wolf stepped away from the stairs, following one of the corridors until he found a window. Luke's footsteps were muffled in sound, as the half-wolf kept using magic to keep the sound from propagating through the air.

As soon as Luke found a window, he opened it using wind magic and jumped out of the building, flying into the night sky. The half-wolf swooped to the top of the sky, touching the clouds. Once in the air, Luke used his <Vind> skill along with his wind magic to move at high speed. Luke used the air itself to propel himself forward, as if he were doing a jump, creating a small explosion behind his feet.

The moon was shining brightly that night. There were few clouds in the sky, which made several stars appear in the night, but the stars, distributed across the night sky, made the vision even more exuberant. The half-wolf flew off to Zhanid's laboratory, where he decided to wait to check the secretariat building.

Flying with maximum speed, Luke's cloak was swinging, almost coming off the half-wolf's body. Before that cloak could fall, Luke stopped in mid-air and opened his inventory, the half-wolf stowed his cloak inside one of the slots and flew back at full speed. It took only two minutes for him to cross the island and reach the laboratory near the shore.

Entering one of the two domes of the place, Luke realized that there was someone else inside the building. He could tell by the lights on and some books cluttered in the hall, approaching one of the doors, the half-wolf slowly walked around trying to find who it could be, until he had a sight that surprised him.

Inside the study office, on the second floor, he saw the two sisters having a brief moment alone, they were breathing slowly, with their hearts calm and their faces peaceful.

Alice and Megan were asleep, lying on a circular wooden table, one of three that occupied that room. In front of Megan were several books, randomly distributed around the table. Some were open, others had marked pages. Not only were there books under the table, but also spread across the other tables, and there were even stacks of books on the floor.

In Alice's case, the girl was still holding a pencil, and in front of her was a large piece of paper, with drawings hand drawn by the girl. When Luke entered the room, the cold night wind caused the door to close quickly, out of the half-wolf's control.

[You were pretty clumsy for an assassin.]

I'm not acting like an assassin now.

[Until 30 seconds ago you were]

The noise had little effect on Alice, who continued to sleep peacefully. Luke could hear the breathing of both girls, and with that, he realized that Megan had changed her flow with the noise. The girl slowly raised her face, Megan's beautiful eyes were still closed, she slowly opened them both, blinking.

Megan's beautiful brown hair was messy, but still elegant as usual, the girl was showing that she was still sleepy, and that she hadn't really woken up yet. As soon as she lifted her head from the table, the girl looked deep into Luke's eyes, she yawned, and stretched.

Luke and Megan exchanged glances, but she was still disconnected. After stretching, the girl blinked twice and scratched her eyes a little, until she looked again at the half-wolf. Even though they had already exchanged glances, and even though the half-wolf had been there the whole time, Megan's face had turned red; she was flushed with embarrassment.

Making a look of irritation, the girl stood up from her chair quickly, taking heavy steps until she reached Luke's side.

"Did you see me sleeping?" Megan questioned.

"Yes, but I just got here. I'm sorry if I woke you up" Luke replied.

The girl lowered her head a little, her messy hair covered her red face, preventing Luke from seeing her face.

"You can't watch a lady sleep, it's rude..." She said, in a low tone of voice.

"It was not my intention, I apologize." Luke said, as he walked forward to one of the armchairs in that office.

Before Megan took another step and left the room, the girl again complained, this time in a tone that only the half-wolf could hear.

"I'm not even dressed... Why did you have to see me like this..."

For the girl, it was impossible that Luke had heard this sentence, since he was already distant from her. Perhaps if Megan was already awake, this problem would not occur. After all, she a common fact as half-beasts can hear much better than anyone else.

But since Megan was still disconnected, she let this slip, causing Luke to discover a little more of her personality. Megan liked to maintain a flawless appearance whenever possible.
